Badge Of Infamy


Lu par Lester Del Rey

(4.4 étoiles; 56 critiques)

Daniel Feldman was a doctor once. He made the mistake of saving a friend's life in violation of Medical Lobby rules. Now, he's a pariah, shunned by all, forbidden to touch another patient.

But things are more loose on Mars. There, Doc Feldman is welcomed by the colonists, even as he's hunted by the authorities. But, when he discovers a Martian plague may soon wipe out humanity on two planets, the authorities begin hunting him for a different reason altogether.

I actually enjoyed it. My rating would be an 8 out of 10. The story moved along although there was a lack of character development. The part that annoyed me the most was the very strong union of doctors who do not protect their own kind. Frankly, this was not ...
